Wide range of sizes

Not water repellent

The case may not be able to get wet (unlike others on the list), but it'll keep your laptop unscathed despite whatever items you throw into the case, such as keys and external batteries. There are so many options in size, color and pattern for such a low price, it makes sense that this continues to be the bestselling laptop sleeve on Amazon. Credit: Mosis0, Shutterstock

Thule Gauntlet 3.0

Elemental and drop-proof

Can use laptop while in the case

Material is bulky, and the price is higher than the competition's

The polyurethane-hardened Gauntlet offers a rigid exterior with enhanced corner protection for your device. The padded interior works to prevent bumps and scratches. With the slick clamshell design, you can use your device while it's in the case, which sets the Gauntlet apart from the competition. This sleeve's defense against the elements and encompassing protection come at a high price. However, it's not much compared to the cost of an entire laptop replacement. Credit: Thule, Shutterstock

Nacuwa Hardshell Sleeve

Slim, hard-shell body offers encompassing protection

Fits only thinner laptops

This slim EVA hard carrier offers quad-layer drop protection and an enhanced, textured grip. Slim and available in a wide range of sizes, the Nacuwa protects your laptop from drops as well as liquids and dust. The case is less expensive than other hard-shell competitors. Unfortunately, this case fits only thinner systems, leaving people with beefier machines out in the cold. Credit:Nacuwa, Shutterstock

The simple, two-tone color scheme also looks great with the canvas material. The ProCase is available in three size ranges and comes in seven different color options: Black, Dark Blue, Dark Gray, Light Gray, Mint Green, Pink and Teal. Credit: ProCase, Shutterstock
